Does anyone have any ideas for make-ahead hors d'ouevres?

I'm planning on crudites with hummus and dips.

Thanks!

Glutino Crackers.

Have you tried them? I saw them for the first time in a store recently where I was buying other Glutino products. I was tempted, but for the moment, at least, resisted. I have never found a Glutino product that I didn't like, but often the price is a stopper. Great pretzels, but I already have a mortgage!

The crackers are good, but you need some cheese that "speaks" to overcome the blah. I keep a box or two in my freezer for guests.

Funny about personal taste :lol:

I really liked the Glutino crackers--I thought they were flaky and kind of buttery-tasting. :P

Patti, I never liked bread or crackers before gluten free. Thought it all was "blah". (ain't I the lucky one ;) )

Yeah--that's probably why----they're good, but pretty standard as crackers go. The surprising thing to me was that they didn't taste "gluten-free". :) I think I expected them to be dry and hard.

I absolutely love rumaki. (Bacon-wrapped chestnuts) You can use gluten-free soy for the marinade.

Warm spinach and artichoke dip

Hickory Farms (sausage, cheese, dips)

Cold shrimp with cocktail sauce

(and I love the Glutino crackers - they are worth trying, Peter)

Everyone has great suggestions...I'm getting hungry!!!

How about:

Fruit dip made with strawberry cream cheese, marshmallow fluff and kool whip

buffalo chicken dip with celery, fritos, and corn tostitos

(dip reheats well in microwave if you prep ahead)

Chocolate covered potato chips (ruffle variety works best) and glutino pretzels -- add sprinkles over the chocolate if you want them to look festive.

Have you ever tried dates stuffed with chevre cheese, wrapped in bacon and baked in the oven? Oh my!

mini meatballs, in a gluten free sweet sauce :D

Some ideas:

**deviled eggs

**jalapeno poppers (I make mine without breading. Scoop seeds out of halved jalapenos, mix with cream cheese and shredded cheese. Put cheese mix back into jalapeno halves, wrap with bacon. They are HOT but soooooo tasty. People prefer these over the breaded ones!)

**buffalo wings (Cook chicken tenders/wings/drummettes, coat with a mix of hot sauce and butter. Serve with celery and dip.)

**homemade chocolate covered cherries

I also am a fan of the Glutino crackers. They're great topped with tuna for an emergency lunch.

Wow, all these ideas are making me hungry! I think chocolate covered anything is great! Maybe set out a fondue bowl or small crockpot filled w/ chocolate and various things to dip in it :) Although I suppose this would be more like a dessert idea...but I'd eat it!

I thought chocolate covered potato chips were gross --- until I tried them. The sweet and salty combo is delish --- think chocolate covered pretzels, but slightly different. ;)

Last night I took some vanilla wafers ("Cooking Free" recipe) out of the freezer and put PB between them. Then I melted choc chips to cover the sandwiches, chilled them to harden the chocolate. I didn't get to try them but my dd said they were really good several times. I have to make more soon.

These would be gluten-free/df/egg free.

One of my all time favorites at the holidays are the beef and cream cheese logs that get sliced up and put on a cracker. I don't know what they're called, but if you've had them you know what I'm talking about! It's dried beef laid out in a big rectangle and then you "frost" the beef with cream cheese, line up green olives at one end, then roll it all up and then slice it and serve it on crackers. Since we're a gluten-free household (my son is the Celiac, not me), I didn't plan on eating that any time soon (I don't really care for the Glutino crackers too much.). Then I went to a holiday party that was a cooking class and we made Olive Surprises. They are so yummy! You take a large green olive and smoosh cream cheese around it to make a ball that completely covers the olive. Then roll the balls in walnuts that have been run through the food processor. Oh my gosh! If you like that sort of thing these are amazing! :D Yum! Yum! Yum!

Also, I've been eating cheese slices on Crunchmaster crackers (from Sam's Club) for lunch a lot. The crackers are very crunchy and salty enough to satisfy a salt craving. They'd make an excellent holiday tray. You could also make a honey mustard to dip them in.

Chex Mix is always good with me. We use Rice Chex, Corn Crunch Ems, Gorilla Munch, Glutino pretzels, honey nut "O" type cereal (can't remember the brand, not Perky Os though) and nuts.

Fruit and a fruit dip are always wonderful.

Also from the cooking class...cute little mini corn bread muffins (using the mini muffin tins) with a slice/chunk of hotdog dropped into the center before baking. Make it look really cool by drizzling ketchup and mustard in swirls on the platter before putting the "corn dogs" on top. You can make them ahead of time and then warm them up at party time.

Lastly...a slice of granny smith apple and a slice of brie cheese wrapped in salami. Sounded awful to me, but again, one of my favs!

OK, I want to throw a party now!!!

The other day I made bacon wrapped dates. My husband is a sucker for dates and I'm a sucker for bacon. It was wonderful!!! Pre non-dairy days I used to stuff them with Havarti. But chevre sounds like it would be really good. I'll have to try that next. Thanks for the suggestion!

Every time I taste the pretzels I think they taste buttery! They are so delicious!! I'm on a missions now to find the crackers. I haven't found a cracker yet that I like.

Before I was diagnosed I loved eating salmon and cream cheese on crackers and 'm missed it since making the gluten free switch.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
